New Imagery

If you need new imagery for your course, service or for an event, you can contact our in house photographer. We are working on a panel of approved external photographers, and will update this section when the panel has been approved.

Our Image Collection

Staff members can browse and download low resolution images from our central image collection, uPic. To request high resolution images, note the filenames of the relevant images and send them in an email to upic@ucc.ie.

Stock Imagery

The internet is full of searchable image content, and we are aware that it can be tempting to use such resources. However, it is important to note that all images found via a basic Google image search are subject to copyright.

This copyright primer will help you to understand what you can and cannot do with images that you find online.

If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you have the right to use an image: do not use it. Contact upic@ucc.ie instead to query if we already have existing images that will be fit for purpose.

Other sources of images that you could consider, taking the copyright primer information into account:

Films will generally require a lead in time of six weeks from the initial meeting. You will also need to have participants in your film sign a release form. Download the UCC Film Recording Authorisation Form and print it off to have with you on the day of shooting.

UCC's YouTube Channel

If you have film content that complies with our Film Guidelines and would like to see it on our YouTube channel, get in touch via dewg@ucc.ie. As the second largest search engine in the world, YouTube is a great platform to promote your film content.
